Bayern Munich made sure of their dominance over Chelsea in their Champions League last 16 tie on Sunday, cruising to a 4-1 win to reach the quarter-finals.

Leading 3-0 from February's first leg, Bayern were almost guaranteed to progress from the tie but they did not use that as an excuse to go easy on Chelsea. Robert Lewandowski scored twice and assisted the other two in another star showing from the Polish striker.

Bayern now turn their attention to Lisbon, where the remaining Champions League fixtures will be played out. The Bundesliga title holders face Barcelona for a place in the semi-finals.
